Adding Armor mod to NPC using Creation Kit

[rarborman]

No problem, in some cases its all a chain reaction, and a modder simply needs a push out of a problem to find his own solution.

 

As for the outfit error, its normally because of masters and or the objects for the outfit not actually being in the plugin.

 

Good luck with any future modding.

Ok. I now have only 2 errors (technically 6, but it could be done with solving 2). I'm now using this mod for the armor, as the nif directories were much easier to fix.

But I now only run into 2 errors. This is the first, this happens when I click the preview option when the outfit has been selected.

Then HURRAY, BATMAN RENDERS WITH THE ARMOR ON!

Then the last error I get if I save and re-open my mod file in CK is this:

I presume that last error means that CK has forgotten where the outfit is? Or something along those lines. But I can go into my NPCs window again, add the armor, and I'll get the first error again, and it'll render fine again. Basically everything I mentioned can loop and loop. I think the first issue is simply a minor texture issue, as the outfit still renders regardless of it. The main issue is that CK seems to forget where the outfit is to call it to the NPC (I think), and that's why in-game he simply appears naked.

 

Also, the reason I said it's technically 6 errors is because if I add each individual item of the armor to the NPCs inventory, that being: Curiass, Gauntlets, Helm, Boots. I get an error for each when loading my mod back up in CK, exactly the same error as the missing outfit one, but instead of outfit for actor it says item for owner.

 

EDIT: I HAVE DONE IT. I followed a tutorial in a thread that basically showed me how to add in the armor files without my mod having to call upon it like a master esm file. To use my mod users will have to download the armor mod individually and then it'll work. I've been in game and everything works hunky dory. Thanks for your help :smile:.

i love that after all your troubles and woes, you found a solution BUT DID NOT GIVE A LINK TO IT! lol, i'm trying to change some npc outfits and could use that tutorial u spoke of

Would be great if people who find the solution to their problems would post it so others can benefit too, just a thought.
Now I and anyone else looking for help with this, will end up asking people for help all over again.

Please think of the community, the least we can do is provide the solution so others can benefit without bothering others...
